Tension and Torsion test
Objective:
To perform an explicit analysis in tension and torsion test of an specimen using Ansys Workbench.
Condition:
Case 1 :For the tension test, displace one end of the specimen to 18mm while keeping the other fixed.
Case 2: For the torsion test, you will need to displace one end of the specimen to an angle of 1200 degree.
Geometry:
Following specimen geometry was imported into spaceclaim .
Material :
Material was selected from Ansys explicit material library.
Mesh:
Case 1:
Face sizing with mesh size of 3mm and sphere size of 22mm was used
Face meshing with size of 1.5mm near the throat and in middle as this is the area were failure will occur .
Case 2:
Other things were kept the same only the mesh near the centre was refined to 0.5mm
Analysis settings :
Case 1:
Fixed support provided at one end and displacement of 18mm assigned at other end .
Case 2:
Keeping Fixed support same for torsion only the displacement load was changed to rotation of 1200 degrees.
